Answer 1

Answer: GIVE ME THANKS

Question 1: TRUE

Question 2: FALSE

QUESTION 3: TRUE

Question 4: False

Question 5 : False

Explanation:

y = 9x + 22

y = price of the laptop

x = price of the television

Question 1: TRUE

y = 9(240) + 22

y = $2182

Question 2: FALSE

y = 9(280) + 22

y = $2542

Question 3: True

y = 9(424) + 22

y = $3838

Question 4: False

y = 9(480) + 22

y = $4342

Question 5: FALSE

y = 9(552) + 22

y = $4990

Answer 2

Only statements A & C are true.

Explanation:

Solving this problem entails of substituting the values provided in each option into the given equation, in order to determine which are true. Take a look at how each is solved.

Option One

• Substitute the values given into the equation

Given: y = 2,182; x = 240

y = 9x + 22

2,182 = 9(240) + 22

• Multiply the term inside the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses

2,182 = 9(240) + 22

2,182 = 2,160 + 22

• Combine the terms on the right side of the equation

2,182 = 2,160 + 22

2,182 = 2,182

• Determine if the simplified equation is true

2,182 = 2,182 true

• This option is correct

Option Two

• Substitute the values given into the equation

Given: y = 2,527; x = 280

y = 9x + 22

2,527 = 9(280) + 22

• Multiply the term inside the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses

2,527 = 9(280) + 22

2,527 = 2,520 + 22

• Combine the terms on the right side of the equation

2,527 = 2,520 + 22

2,527 = 2,542

• Determine if the simplified equation is true

2,527 = 2,542 not true

• This option is incorrect

Option Three

• Substitute the values given into the equation

Given: y = 3,838; x = 424

y = 9x + 22

3,838 = 9(424) + 22

• Multiply the term inside the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses

3,838 = 9(424) + 22

3,838 = 3,816 + 22

• Combine the terms on the right side of the equation

3,838 = 3,816 + 22

3,838 = 3,838

• Determine if the simplified equation is true

3,838 = 3,838 true

• This option is correct

Option Four

• Substitute the values given into the equation

Given: y = 4,322; x = 480

y = 9x + 22

4,322 = 9(480) + 22

• Multiply the terms inside the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses

4,322 = 9(480) + 22

4,322 = 4,320 + 22

• Combine the terms on the right side of the equation

4,322 = 4,320 + 22

4,322 = 4,342

• Determine if the simplified equation is true

4,322 = 4,342 not true

• This option is incorrect

Option Five

• Substitute the values given into the equation

Given: y = 4,980; x = 552

y = 9x + 22

4,980 = 9(552) + 22

• Multiply the terms inside the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses

4,980 = 9(552) + 22

4,980 = 4,968 + 22

• Combine the terms on the right side of the equation

4,980 = 4,968 + 22

4,980 = 4,990

• Determine if the simplified equation is true

4,980 = 4,980 not true

• This option is incorrect

This proves that only options 1 & 5 are correct.
